Your ideal retreat! ◆◆◆Staying in the Pocono Mountains◆◆◆ If this is your first time visiting the Poconos, we want to ensure you understand what staying in the mountains entails. This house is nestled in the mountains, surrounded by trees and nature. As a result, you may encounter wildlife, as this is their home and we are merely guests. Wildlife may include flying insects, spiders, ants, squirrels, flying squirrels, mice, foxes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, snakes, turtles, coyotes, and black bears. Smaller creatures and insects can occasionally find their way inside depending on the outside conditions. We have monthly exterminator visits to minimize this, but being in the mountains, anything is possible. Additionally, please note that the mountain infrastructure differs from that of the city. Small wind or rain storms can occasionally cause power or internet outages in specific areas, including our home. Power outages may affect the water supply as we are on wells and the well pumps need power to work. Usually, these outages are restored within 8-10 hours, which is a quick turnaround given the weather conditions. For outages lasting less than 24 hours, no refund or compensation will be provided. For outages exceeding 24 hours, compensation will be issued on a case-by-case basis. Lastly, please be aware that extreme heat or cold waves can put stress on the house's heating or cooling systems, and these systems may struggle to keep up during very high or very low temperatures. ◆◆◆Summer Bookings◆◆◆ During Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, this is our busiest season. Check-in time is at 5 PM, and early check-in is nearly impossible. If we can accommodate an early check-in, the earliest would be 3 PM. If you need to arrive earlier than 3 PM, we recommend booking the day before to ensure you can arrive any time on your desired day. ◆◆◆Winter Bookings◆◆◆ During winter months, it is highly recommended to have a vehicle with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4x4 capabilities due to potential heavy snowfall. ◆◆◆Supplies◆◆◆ We provide a starter pack of household essentials (paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, dish detergent). If the property includes a dishwasher, washer, and dryer, we also provide cleaning agents for those. Guests staying for longer durations or with larger groups should bring additional supplies. Personal toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), q-tips, deodorants, or other personal care products are not provided. The house includes cooking ware (pots, pans, plates, utensils, baking dishes), but guests need to bring personal grocery items (seasonings, flour, sugar). ◆◆◆Community Information◆◆◆ We are located in a private gated community that requires a guest registration form for security and emergency purposes. The form will ask for full names and ages of each guest, as well as vehicle and driver information, including the main registrant's license ID number and the plate numbers of all vehicles entering the community. Names on the forms must match the legal ID of the driver. ◆◆◆Pet Rules◆◆◆ If you are bringing your pet during your stay, please be aware of the following rules: Pet Fee: We will allow up to 3 pets to stay the fees are the following: $25 per stay per pet and $100 additional pet cleaning fee. This will be collected after your reservation is booked through the app. Keep Dogs Leashed: Dogs must be leashed at all times while outside. The mountain area is home to various wildlife, including bears, foxes, coyotes, other dogs (wild or loose), skunks, raccoons, and snakes. Keeping your dog on a leash is essential for its safety, as encounters with these animals can be dangerous. No Overnight Outdoor Stays: Do not leave your dog outside overnight. Unless your dog is a livestock guardian dog, it may become prey for bears or other wildlife. Clean Up After Your Dog: Please pick up after your dog when it goes potty. Other families, including those with small children, stay at our home and do not want to step in it. Keep Pets Off Furniture: Please keep pets off human furniture. ◆◆◆Community Amenities◆◆◆ ◆ Guests will have access to all seasonal community amenities: 2 outdoor pools, 2 beaches, fishing lake, boating lake, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, golf, fishing, rec center, ski hill, snowboarding, tubing, ice skating and much more.
